About PFLAG Lafayette - Tippecanoe County

PFLAG Lafayette - Tippecanoe County provides comprehensive support, education, and advocacy services for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals and their families throughout the Lafayette, Indiana community. As the local chapter of an international organization, PFLAG Lafayette delivers three core service pillars designed to promote health and well-being while fostering societal change. The support services help individuals and families cope with challenges in an often adverse social environment, providing a safe space for dialogue about sexual orientation and gender identity. Through education initiatives, PFLAG Lafayette works to enlighten the broader public and combat misinformation that perpetuates discrimination. The advocacy component focuses on ending discrimination and securing equal civil rights for LGBTQ+ persons. PFLAG Lafayette partners with Pride Lafayette and Citizens for Civil Rights to co-sponsor PRYSM (Positive Reflections of Young Sexual Minorities), a dedicated youth group serving young sexual minorities in the area. The organization actively participates in Indiana Equality rallies, letter-writing campaigns, and local educational forums to advance its mission. Regular monthly meetings are held at the Pride Lafayette Community Center in Lafayette, providing accessible opportunities for community members to engage, connect, and participate in the organization's ongoing work toward creating a healthier, more respectful society.
